PHP Paypal Rest API Composer Installation

Question

I'm trying to install the Paypal PHP REST API, by following the instructions on this page.

Namely, I'm running this command on composer.

composer require "paypal/rest-api-sdk-php:*"

However, I'm running into this error.

Problem 1 - The requested package paypal/rest-api-sdk-php could not be found in any version, there may be a typo in the package name.

Potential causes:

A typo in the package name
The package is not available in a stable-enough version according to your minimum-stability setting

The instructions aren't working. Does this mean the API has been abandoned?

try: composer self-update; composer require "paypal/rest-api-sdk-php:*" Also, share you composer.json file please — Patrick, Nov 09 '16 at 12:10
The instructions work fine for me as is. Composer fires up and I get `Installing paypal/rest-api-sdk-php (1.10.0)` downloaded to my vendor dir. — Jeff Puckett, Nov 09 '16 at 20:20
There is a working solution described in https://stackoverflow.com/questions/39400764/fatal-error-class-paypal-api-payer-not-found-en-sdk-paypal/47776518#47776518 by Olga. — olga, Dec 12 '17 at 15:51

composer require "paypal/rest-api-sdk-php:

composer require paypal/rest-api-sdk-php

Remove the quote first or install another laravel application and try that again

[A code-only answer is not high quality](//meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/392712/explaining-entirely-code-based-answers). While this code may be useful, you can improve it by saying why it works, how it works, when it should be used, and what its limitations are.
